The last comment she edited, by the way, was a personal insult against me. I do not see why we need to leave up nasty, hurtful comments, but if people want to engage in that kind of детский сад, there are plenty of other places on the internet to do so.
There is a way to prevent it all from happening
This thread is not related to learning Russian language, it's also mostly in English.
So, as you were saying: "there are plenty of other places on the internet to do so"
Let's not create such threads and people won't insult each other

I was trying to create a thread about abused Russian children in the US and I got banned for a week by our fellow moderator for that and my thread was deleted. But after thinking about it I would agree: let's delete such threads. But let's not create double standards and provoke favoritism: all such threads must be deleted. And people would not insult each other.
